"Basics" with Babish has clearly just become whatever Andrew wants to make, but I'm not upset about it.
Yeah, as much as I love watching and would love to make this I wouldn't call it "basic".
@@katherinewaddell2296 The basic way in Germany is to go to a grocery store and buy it.
At this point he’s gone over most basic recipes
@@kevlon_ or you get it from your local grandma
It‘s clearly a basic just not in your culture... Americans always think they are the whole world🤷🏼♂️
The traditional german way of eating Stollen actually is as follows:
-You get one from your grandma. (The only propper way of obtaining one.)
-You eat way too mutch before and during the holydays.
-You get sick of it and pack it away.
-You find it again in early january.
Now it has changed texture it's a bit more dense but also moister. Perfect for dipping into coffee
Just hijacking top comments to push the sausage agenda. much love to all - happy holidays.
ist wirklich so :D
Naaw milk
this is the way
Lol
I have a German background so I’ve definitely eaten some German desserts but I didn’t think I’ve ever had Stollen tbh
What he made actually is Marzipanstollen, there are a whole lot of other varieties like "regular" Rosinenstollen (with raisins), Butterstollen (without raisins), Mohnstollen (with poppy seeds), etc.
Stollen was prepared weeks in advance to mature until Christmas and to take baking out of the Holiday prep. The dough itself is actually not sweet at all and the Stollen was lovingly attended to over weeks, it was regularly brushed with melted butter and coated with powdered sugar over and over again. The powdered sugar forms a thick, brittle crust which needs to be really thick! (Stollen can be a bit dry and the sugar coating keeps in moisture and at least gives it some hint of sweetness).
Happy Holidays from Germany!
Bestes deutsches Kommentar, das ich hier bisher gelesen habe. Bin auch eher der Meinung, dass die Süße von der Füllung und der dicken Butter Puderzuckerschicht kommt. Babish hat mit der Butter etwas gespart..... XD
Do they make a stollen without the citrus peel and what is that called? I think a walnut, cranberry and marzipan one would be lovely.
@@JimmiAlli No, the peel from oranges and lemons is more or less required if you want to follow the original recipe. But if you don't like that stuff - and there are plenty here in Germany who don't - take something else or leave it out completely. It won't be original Stollen anymore, but will taste great nontheless. I think your proposed ingredients would work well. If anything, I would leave out the marzipan, which is a deviation from the most well known high quality Stollen from Dresden.
Danke!! Ich war so enttäuscht als er es gleich angeschnitten hat 😆🙈 Der muss mindestens ein paar Wochen ruhen sonst schmeckt er nicht
@@JimmiAlli I too think that your combination of ingredients sounds lovely. Vary the recipe to your heart's content! Anything else would be a waste if you don't enjoy eating it! I would actually leave in the marzipan, as I normally find Stollen can be too dry and marzipan gives some moisture as well as textural variety. You could also add the marzipan to the dough in small bits. But I would definitely not skimp on brushing the Stollen again and again with butter and adding another layer of powdered sugar, that is the best part. :-)

A "normal" Stollen is without Marzipan. The one with marzipan ist called - surprise! - Marzipanstollen.
Just, to prevent someone from bying it without knowing and then beeing sad that there's no Marzipan inside.
Thanks. I was wondering about that, because my godmother used to bring us Stollen from Germany every Christmas, but there was never marzipan inside.
in the Netherlands its called "kerststol" (Christmas stollen) and it is always with marzipan inside. weird.
EDIT: it turns out it isn't marzipan but almond paste.
@@nehriim3748 het is niet marsepein maar amandelspijs wat meer in onze kerststol/ feeststol zit, dat is meer amandel en suiker dus geen bloem/amandelmeel zoals in dit recept
You the real mvp
It really, reaaallly depends. I'm from Cologne and i've been eating Stollen every Christmas for pretty much my whole life and theres always been - to my delight- marzipan in it lol. And they're not called Marzipanstollen, at least almost never. They just go by Stollen, even at the bakery. Also no one puts Citronat in it because most ppl frankly find it gross. So, while you're not wrong, it might be a regional thing, and i'd just suggest looking at the ingredients or purposely buying one with marzipan in it, if that's what one prefers. :)

I guffawed out loud at the “stolen” joke. But seriously... stollen was an integral part of my Christmas upbringing. Thank you for posting this.
Mine too! My grandad was Swiss and him and I always used to make it when I was little, before he passed. I'm glad Andrew has posted this as i can now make it with my sister, just as granddad Pete and I used to (he passed 2 weeks before she was born so they never got to meet eachother)
man said guffawed 💀💀
I laughed harder than I should have at that “Stolen” joke...
same
You have chosen death
Same 😂😂 it was really well timed
I knew this whole episode was leading to it and I still laughed
Dude same. It was mostly the delivery that made the joke, I'd say.
German here; Actually, you try to make (or buy) Stollen one month before you are going to eat it. Therefore the flavors can mature and fully unfold.
The room should be around 5-10 °C and the Stollen should be wrapped so that its in an airtight environment.
To make it better, you can brush it multiple times with butter and re-do the sugar coating which will fully develop over the month
FUN FACT:
"Stollen" also means
1. a tunnel used for mining
2. the studs on a soccer shoe
Bruh
The marzipan is a little mineshaft through your bread, and the candied fruit peels are the ore
Another fun fact. "real" Stollen actually has to be stored in a Stollen before eating.
thank you Kanye, very cool.
Can I use it as my things got “Stollen”
Babish: "I am skipping out of the metric system as it is not so precise."

Ohhhh, my Germanness intensified with this one comment, too. :D Stolles is awesome, though. Now I want one.
I'm german and the first moment I saw that thumbnail I was like: "No way Babish just actually uploaded this."
Me too I am so happy because this is one of my favorite things to eat on Christmas
Little tip from a german: traditionally you‘d leave the Stollen for at least two weeks in a cold place and wrapped in plastic. This just improves the flavour massively!
The dough or once baked? Thanks
@@cianbonadio8788 once baked
I always learned they should rest for at least a month. We tend to make ours at the end of October and then eat them all through December

This is trending toward "Advanced with Andrew"
Yeah, I'm german, but I literally don't know any person who makes their Marzipan and the Orangeat and Citronat (the candied fruit) themselves. Without making those, this is a very easy recipe. It's basically just boozing the raisins + orangeat and citronat and then rolling everything out and baking it. So the Stollen I usually make is a lot simpler.
(If you want to go crazy, you have to make the Stollen way earlier and then soak it in butter forever, but that is also not difficult, it just takes a lot of time)
Even with the hand-made ingredients, this isn't at all difficult to follow; he's made the process extremely clear.

This comment section apparently: "Nein"
Hi I'm German and here's a fun fact that the German bakers start baking the Stollen in the fall and then leave it to rest in butter for a quarter of a year, which makes it mutchmor delicious
Honestly, you should also use at least twice as much sugar to coat it. Stollen is the most unhealthy but super delicious thing you can get in germany and austria.
@@Silas-qb2es Where? In Mindelheim they don't, at least not as far as I know. I remember one baker that made a lemonade wash for his Stollen, but not butter.
@@Silas-qb2es I was about to say this didnt rest proper
@@Silas-qb2es I am from Germany too, and I can only agree. My family makes the Stollen in middle of november and let it ripen for four to six weeks. I've never heard about half a year, but probably depends on the specific recipe. It also needs more coats of butter and sugar. Not healthy, but if you are counting calories for Christmas you've forgotten how to live.
I'm German and I spend my entire morning baking Stollen with my grandma. I feel like I'm being watched...
It's a common feeling in East Germany.

It just occurred to me that probably why he picked this particular bread to make, just because of the pun.
Here in Germany we prepare the Stollen actually 2-3 weeks before serving... It really needs the time to get the full aroma and moistness into the bread. To be called a "Dresdner Stollen" it must contain at least 50% butter... if you want to try one (and you are to lazy to bake one yourself) there are bakery that specialized in stollen and will ship them around the world

The Konditorei had a break-in this Christmas. All their cakes were Stollen.
Congrats you just killed comedy
Fun Fact! A Stollen (literally) is actually the rock a mine is built into. So the bread is the rock and the marzipan/ fruit is all the precious gems or metals. A lot of German fairytales actually involve bad things happening inside Stollen, for example in “Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot”
Sagt die eine Rosine zu der anderen: Ich muss jetzt in den Stollen 😰
Thats actually incorrect. The Stollen(cake) was already called that without having marcipan as part of the recipe. It's suspected that its called Stollen because it was (due to its long-livety of multiple months) very popular among miners that took it with them into the Stollen (mine).
mystery solved
How to make candy:

"Basics", starts making marzipan.
"Basics", continues with orangeat.
In all honesty, I think homemade marzipan isn't the right choice here. Marzipan is one of those things where experience and professionality in production can make a huge difference in taste. Find a company producing high-quality artisanal marzipan and use that.
@@olenickel6013 cool info, but that doesn't sound basic at all...
I mean! marzipan doesn't look too bad from this video, just combining five ingredients well, and it's not time sensitive so it can be made ahead-- it looks like the most difficult part of it would be finding rosewater in my area, but I got a couple leads from Googling it real quick
this sounds like cookie dough or macarons where experience & high-quality ingredients or technique could make a big difference, but homemade including beginner attempts are also delicious
@@olenickel6013 I mean, you could say that for everything, really. There’s no harm in trying it yourself and using it
@@toninot17 In my experience, marzipan is one of those things were seemingly small things have a huge impact on the final product. I'm not saying "don't do it" at all, but just be aware that it's probably one of the few things were the homemade stuff will actually end up of noticeably lower quality than if you buy it.

Truly a remarkable thing to eat with freshly made. However mass market retail shelves carry this, it’s not so great. It’s amazing the discrepancy between the two
actually it gets even better if it is kept somewhere wrapped up just after baking for over a week. but that's a pretty hard thing to do to be fair..
They don't usually stock it where I live because it always gets... stollen.
In Germany you never never never eat them freshly baked. They Need to Rest for at least a Week. Better for 3-4 Weeks…they must tasted pretty Boring and dry fresh.
Same with perogies; they're often widely available frozen, but don't compare to freshly made. My husband loves what is "german sweet loafs", so I'll definitely make this one day!
Yes, despite growing up in an area with a lot of German heritage, I’ve only ever had the mass produced stuff and I’m not a fan. I’d love to try it homemade.

@@shac0le thank you for the answer. I learned about stollen from a manga called Dr Stone where (spoilers) they prepare it in order to go on a long sea expedition. They also mention it can last for months because the fruit absorbs moisture from the bread that would allow it to grow bacteria and go bad.

Small tip for anyone living in Germany: We have mini stollen as well (called Stollenkonfekt) and you can find them during christmas time at most supermarkets (or in Dresden obviously)! They're super delicious and I personally prefer them to the regular Stollen, since it can be a little bit too much sometimes. Be warned though, they're definitely an addicting not-so-healthy snack :D
My girlfriends mom is german and she just made a stollen, two hours later babish shows me how she made it
Honestly, few German mums or even grandmas would make it from scratch to this degree. They’d very likely buy the marzipan and candied orange peel at least. :)
As a Dutch family that goes through 3 of these things a week during the December month I approve of this recipe. It looks delicious

Okay Guys, here is the real deal: This thing doesn't really taste that great if you eat it only a couple of hours after baking. You should butter and powder sugaring it at least thrice after the sugar crust dried. This allone takes some days. Then wrap it in aluminium foil and put it in a cool dark place and let it sit for four to six WEEKS. Better prepare that thing in middle of november. Don't panic: the thick layer of suger and the aluminium foil will keep it from getting stale or molding. After all this time that gift by the gods has ripened and tastes like all you ever wanted for Christmas. I know it takes some patience and the courage to let bakery being untouched for weeks, but every real German housewife will tell you to do it that way, and it's absolutely worth it.
Optionally you make a Stollen without the marzipan, if thats more to your taste.
Do glass containers work as an alternative to the aluminium foil?
As long as it is sealed and no dust or anything else comes in contact with it, it should be fine. The specific recipes do vary quite a bit, so better do some research before baking.
i always hate it when people say that they think stollen tastes stale, there is no such thing as stale stollen. There is only stollen and ripe stollen
Lovely with some tea personal I think peppermint tea complements it the best.

I was already wondering why it's done so fast in this recipe 🧐
And please let it rest like cubegame said it 🙏
It is indeed worth the time waiting for it 🤤🕰️
I am amazed how perfect you pronounced "Stollen", it was nearly perfect.
I knew that "stollen" joke was coming, and I still laughed. Just couldn't help myself. :D
Now that you are on german christmas food you could make "Kartoffelsalat und Bockwurst".
Quellkartoffel und Dup Dup...
Irgendwie ist "Kartoffelsalat mit Bockwurst" das traurigste Weihnachtsessen der Welt
With or without mayo?
wir essen immer saitenwurst dazu

"So, depending on how much you value your time, it is a step worth taking," is this show's version of, "If you can't make your own, store-bought is fine," and I'm into it.
My german boss bought this for us from a german store for xmas celebration and sliced em and buttered each slice for us. Buttered with german love.
Babish is such a pro he even includes the dad joke to tell while making it in the recipe.
German reading "german" in title
Also german: This video and commentsection are now property of the Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Copy and paste is strong in this one
Es ist freies Grundeigentum

Thats exactly how es ist.

apparently they will also call everything bread. Growing up in germany your parents will tell you "That's not actual bread, we said bread, didn't we?" when you tell them you want american style toast. Calling Stollen Bread is just completley foreign to me.
@@thecashier930 It looks like a loaf of bread; therefore, it is bread.
@@AmandaFromWisconsin It's somewhere in between bread and cake, you can eat it like either. Most people just put some butter on it, I like to eat it with creamed cheese and/or ham
@@hendrik1769 The only thing you are allowed to combine with Stollen is coffee or tea when you dip the stollen into it. Also known as "didschn". Stollen usually gets a bit dry, which is why you are likely to dip it into your afternoon drink of choice.
@@AmandaFromWisconsin Does it though? I was taught that nothing lighter in colour than ~cardboard is allowed to be called bread. Also if it's sweet it doesn't count as bread. xD
I try not to miss an episode, and I'm catching up on those I missed over Christmas. All that to say I was excited for this as my father is German and I've been eating Stollen every Christmas since I was a small child.
Hey we eat a similar thing for Christmas in Argentina!
Wait... German stuff. In Argentina...
😬
oh no

Is that a JoJo reference?
i found the funny

Ahh yes, our hero Stroheim
Germans: hippity hoppity this is our property
I'm German but never tried to bake it myself. Always bought it in the supermarket. Thanks a lot, Babish.
"It just might get... Stollen"
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
😂
😂🤣
Meine Enttäuschung ist unermesslich und mein Tag ruiniert!
You need to try Dresdner Christstollen! It is the best Stollen you can possibly eat.
100% agree
Recipe?
Thousands of german grandmothers would disagree
As a german and being named after this delicious stuff i am just saying you nailed it
Dein Name ist Marzipan oder Weinachtsstolllen ?
Hands down the best stollen I've ever had. Thank you for the perfect recipe I appreciate you!!
